Description

In The Farming Game, you develop your part-time farm by planting different crops (wheat, hay, cherries) and leasing additional cattle grazing rights, in the hopes that any given resource will pay out big so that you can afford to quit your day job and become a full-time farmer.

However, with each harvest season comes the potential for price fluctuations and additional costs of doing business (fertilizer, equipment breakdowns, replanting, labor problems, etc.).

The first player who reaches a total net worth of $250,000 wins the game.
